Motorcycle Training - U Turns 

Nice upload. Who's that amazing instructor? . 😉

Used to practice this on a Sat morning in the local High School grounds. Tutor was a highly regarded instructor and he made us do it time after time, until we got it! It's actually easier to master without the helmet and the guy allowed us to do it like that for the first few sessions. He was the Old Skool biker type and knew everything about geometry, balance, c of g, absolutely everything. He's no longer with us but I've had 40 years on the bikes without a single accident - all credit to him.

What a good, patient and reassuring instructor! Well done!

I did exactly the same, *stares at curb*, drives into curb, panic front brake grab and clutch in, Waaaaaaaaang. And there was a car learner trying to kill us at the time.

There's some fantastic riding there. You have a great instructor, I'm so envious!

The other day I had a very bad instructor at my CBT who dumped me trying to do u turns for 6 mins and failed me. He didn't tell me how to do it and where I was going wrong. It was the old staring at kerb symptom. This video has been invaluable thank you. I'm repeating my CBT tomorrow with a better driving school.

God he's a polite instructor aint he?

Some of those cars don't seem to care, they just zip on by. Good instruction and good learning. 👌🏽

The critical thing in a learning exercise is not how much you know at the beginning but how much you improve by the end. Here a good instructor helped a pupil who listened and wanted to learn.

I’m taking the license now in Denmark,and I wish I had that instructor.he is good 👌🏻

The instructor sounds very friendly a reassuring. I just passed my CBT and I still struggle with the U turn. The kerb staring gets me each time.

That was a good instructor. With someone like that helping you it would be difficult not to improve.

Priceless info Roadcraft .. I always thank you for taking the to upload these.

What a great teacher! So encouraging!

Great instructor.

This instructor calm as shot I had an ex military dude calling me shit every time I do something wrong 😂

Nice job mate, well done

That calm voice! :D

Good instructor.

Great...my instructor told me I need to practice that more.

Great instructional video!

Good practicing, good advice, good job.

Good instructor. Great squid

That was surprisingly uplifting

Those gloves look fireproof. Much easier with summer gloves.

this ASMR is fantastic... :p

Thanks for posting!

You're much like me, nodding and not speaking even when you know they don't see your head. I feel like it was probably weird for your instructor as it has been the mine. Haha. :)

simple: look at where you want to go. throw your shoulder out, lean against the bike and make the turn with a slight pulling motor.

A good piece of instruction. I don’t mean the technique, but the method.

Nice ..not an easy one to carry out

Mate any chance your instructor could come over to N. Ireland and teach me? this is the bit of my test I'm struggling with and shit scared by. But he's made more sense in that short clip than my instructor has in almost two years!

That's the bike I passed on 😉...is that Russ i can hear ?

What is the name of the video camera you are using please

Don't know why but this played out like a video game tutorial.

good confiedence bulider trainer

Great instructor!! Maybe it's the English accent thats so calming? :D

Wow

knew i recognised that voice from roadcraft haha

trained by roadcraft by any chance?

My instructor got pissed cause i used the back break too much 😂 i aint dying hitting a corner at 30 mph after only 4 hours training on a bike 😅 As for U-Turns these roads are wise af and my type of road 🤔 i did them well on site but off site pretty poor

Counter steering is so important in this exercise

i struggle with u turn am not judging u feel like your going to drop the bike or put your foot down 😭

Only 6Mtr's here in Australia for the U turn on the test.

Pretty sure he could have turned an articulated truck in that road... 😁

Hate u turns. Can't grasp them and now have to do my test on a poxy small bike cos can't do on a 650 uuuuh 😣

I have the impression that the instructor does it badly himself. Or does he do it to somehow gradually teach the student?

Boring hell iso you did the U turn in a distance 2mtrs bigger than the test... well done

wouldnt he have failed at the u turn on the busy road? There was an oncoming car and he technically cut it off.

Had the bike for two weeks now and done 1,000 miles but still can't do a proper U turn ... embarrassing

I can't stand u-turns! I've found what has really helped me is trying to lean the top half of my body away from the inside of the turn. For some reason it makes me feel a bit more comfortable. U-turns on a bike just feel so unnatural!

7.5 meters! thats a fuckin joke? No counter steering. Teacher cant turn tight himself. what a joke. GB exams whaha
